    BT and just about everyone apart from tiscali I think.

    When I asked the question was no and the GF has never been charged for long calls.
    I started with nothing and I am proud to say I still have most of it left.

    On their website it says for an hour only. Just put the phone down and call again.

    Their site clearly says that 01/02 calls are unlimited on the £7.99p a month package,and i can confirm this is the case.;)

    Do you realise just how impractical and anti-social that can actually be?
    Unlimited is unlimited not restricted.

    But Tiscali limit to 60 minutes the free call time to those countries that are included in their free international destinations inc in Tiscali Anytime and Free Weekend. Or at least will be from 1 Sept 2007.

    BTW they will from Sept be doubling their connection charge where applicable to 6p ,following BT.

    Also WATCH OUT. MASSIVE RISES.

    They are scrapping their weekend rates to mobiles. Just day and evening like BT.
    21.5p on Saturday/Sunday daytime to phone 3 mobile up from (I think) about 6p
    12p on Sat/Sun daytime to phone the other networks, up from 4.5p

    (all the more reason to use the 0844/0871 dialthro numbers for these)

    New rates 'ere

    Tiscali only bring out the FREE Intl Calls from the 1/9/2007 so surely its not unreasonable for them to restrict the length of time of call at the outset.

    As far as increasing the connection charge to 6p and having just two charging bands for mobiles, they are sadly just following the likes of BT and Talk Talk. (They are still cheaper then basic BT,and the same price as basic TT for mobile calls).
    Strangely unlike BT and TT they have retained their old three band charging system for 0845/0870.
